This article provides an introduction to the features and options in the top-right corner for community members. The Settings menu is a central place where members can customize and personalize their experience in the community. It provides different functions that allow members to manage their account settings, privacy preferences, notification settings, and more. Announcements give you a heads-up from moderators on things members need to know. These options give members control over their profile, privacy, and how they interact with the community.
